I am with you till this point. This is what I was visualizing the
interface as, thanks for putting it.

Do not understand what do you mean here.
Sorry. What I wanted to say is:
In case of the above example, the administrator cannot know that
each vcpu's quota is specified to 12500, because domain's XML
definition only shows that domain's quota is 50000.
Additionally, this information cannot be gotton via virsh command
because it is only displayed as the following:
# virsh schedinfo VM
Scheduler : posix
cpuperiod : 100000
cpuquota : 50000
It was a little anxious that actual setting is encapsulated.
Anyway, I understand what you intend. Thank you.
